Cadence Harris

(KAIR)--Two Facebook pages are now in place memorializing the young girl shot to death Friday night in Leavenworth.
Both pages also link to a gofundme online account being used to provide financial assistance to the family of 5-year-old Cadence Harris.
According to the Facebook pages, money raised will be used to help pay for burial expenses and any other final arrangements.
The Facebook pages can be found here and here.
Cadence Harris died Friday night as a result of what her mother told Fox4News was an abusive relationship.
Leavenworth Police say Cadence died when a vehicle chase wound from Atchison to Platte County, Missouri and finally into Leavenworth.
It was on Metropolitan Avenue that investigators say the male driver of the vehicle being pursued shot Cadence.
He was wounded by police gunfire and has been hospitalized in Kansas City due to the injuries.
His name has not yet been made public pending the filing of formal charges.
